I was one of the 1 in 50 until I was 15. I was embarrassed about it, which is normal emotion. But you are not alone. Now days there are allot better solutions to cope with it until it is out grown. There is the internet to talk to others about it. There is more people that are knowledgeable about it. You can talk to a doctor and find out what your situation is. There is also better diapers to wear. Unfortunately, and anyone around my age knows, that not that long ago you had to wear the regular baby diapers. I had to wear Pampers. It was just as embarrassing having the big box of Pampers, diaper pail and Butt Balm in my room as it was getting put into a diaper every night. Now they have ones that are almost like underwear. As for what to do when you want or have to spend the night somewhere other then at home, you have to talk to someone about your situation as embarrassing as it might be. Don't try to see if you can go the one night without wetting. It does not work. I went to camp with a boy that tried that and he wet the first night. I noticed what had happened, and being in that situation before myself, I told him I was going to do my laundry and go use the shower room before it got too busy and asked if he was going to come with. Needless to say he did not hesitate. But I told him he needed to tell a consular for the rest of the stay. He did, got diapers, no one else ever knew, and he had allot better rest of the time. Do what you have to do to keep yourself sane about your situation. Take it from me, there is help, and if you are like me it will be over someday and you will be out of diapers.
